Just wondering, if you guys were at an airshow and you could buy a poster of an aeroplane but have to get it home with you, what size would you prefer?
Any measurements would be ok.
Also would you prefer thicker paper if the picture quality wasnt so good or paper that was a bit thinner but nice and glossy?

Also, if you could buy aircraft stuff at a show what stuff do you prefer to buy, shirts, models etc.

Just looking at a few options and this is the best way to start.

Cheers.

i would say, for me, any size (bigger the better) as long as it came rolled up in a tube, good quality and I like to get shirts, key rings and little gadgetsy type stuff...

Not sure f I would buy a poster myself as Ive really got nowhere to put it but when I was younger or maybe my kids - a A1 poster rolled in tube or A3 if not - good quality paper ...others - shirts & models something for the kids to play with (these are something I do buy).

I think A2 would be a good size although you could produce a few different sizes eg, A1, A2, A3 and then postcards or something.
As for the paper I would go with the one that has the best picture quality.
I don't get much at airshows, just the occasional DVD or Book. Sometimes get some badges or other things.

A2 is fine, but any size is good as my walls are covered with posters of different sizes.
That also means there isn't much room for big ones anymore winkyy.gif
I would prefer the glossy paper, because I'm not worried about thickness but would prefer the better picture quality.

Posters definately glossy, any size.

Models, Tee's, glasses and cups always a good buy. Especially when you have kids

Must be unique though.

Shot glasses I reckon would go down well if they were for the show concerned.

Cheers and good luck

as the inspriational Mr A185F said, small "gagetsy" huh.gif type stuff is always good, easy to lug around biggrin.gif , things like caps, t-shirts and keyrings/badges (i could go on) etc...
as for posters, if i found one i really would like to buy, i would prefer it A3 or similiar, not tooo big, and not toooo small thumbup1.gif

Hehe nice one.
If it was me I'd want a paper that wasn't going to fade easy,as for the T-shirt thing I'd rather that cause models can break easy.
